I was interviewed by the Intelligent Enterprise Leaders Alliance for their latest publication recently. Industry 4.0 is the next frontier of smart manufacturing. In the interview we discussed the smart way to embrace industry 4.0 with targeted, tactical, and transformative projects.
Supply chains are evolving at a rapid pace as global risks increase. To achieve success with this transformation, companies must roll out advanced technologies and develop strategies to mitigate down-the-line risks and impacts such as access to critical minerals and energy.
Distributors play a critical role in the supply chain in connecting manufacturers to customers with inventory, logistics, and fulfillment. As tariffs, geopolitical risks, and tax and regulatory changes take place, supply chains will evolve. Forward-thinking distributors are determining how to mitigate risks and take advantage of the opportunities that emerge with artificial intelligence and advanced technologies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies are more than digital upgrades — they’re powering a manufacturing reinvention and changing the manufacturing floor. In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson highlights Hadrian’s vertically integrated model as a glimpse into the future.
In this episode of Supply Chain Chats, Lisa Anderson talks talent with Joe Van Tassel, Managing Principal at Integress, a recruiting firm specializing in technical and engineering roles. From the shifting priorities of mid-market companies to the red flags leaders should watch for, this is a must-watch for anyone responsible for hiring, building or retaining a high-performing team.
Lisa Anderson discussed the future of talent for manufacturers, distributors and supply chain organizations and the impact of automation, robotics, and advanced technologies
Artificial intelligence is not only integral to manufacturing, distribution, mining, and forging, but it will also power productivity and enhanced customer value across every company in the future. Thus, it is an imperative to pay attention to current uses of AI and to think strategically about AI applications to drive productivity, profitability and performance.
Supply chain shortages have improved from their all-time high in Q1 2024. Yet, risks remain high, especially with the increased level of vulnerabilities.
What’s next for manufacturing equipment and technology? In this Supply Chain Byte, Lisa Anderson highlights three key trends that emerged from ProMat and shares how manufacturers can stay ahead by planning strategically for future advancements.
Manufacturing in the U.S. is gaining momentum, and businesses that aren’t prepared will struggle to keep up. According to Lisa Anderson, MBA, CSCP, CLTD, President of LMA Consulting Group, Inc., the resurgence will be fast and powerful, with companies that are ready to scale reaping the greatest benefits.
